**Título:** DB upgrade with terraform on AWS
**Ponente:** *Antonio Peña.*
**Mini-biografía:**
Senior Cloud Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect y CKA, con una amplia trayectoria en Linux, Open Source, Kubernetes y plataformas cloud. Especializado en DevOps, CI/CD, GitOps y automatización de infraestructura sobre AWS, Azure y GCP. Como organizador de MadridDevOps, impulsa la comunidad compartiendo experiencias reales sobre cultura DevOps, cloud engineering y modernización de plataformas.
**Descripción de la charla:**
En esta charla veremos cómo gestionar un proceso de **upgrade de base de datos en AWS usando Terraform**, de forma controlada, repetible y alineada con buenas prácticas de infraestructura como código. Hablaremos de cómo preparar el entorno, planificar cambios de versión, minimizar riesgos, y automatizar la infraestructura alrededor de la base de datos para que las actualizaciones sean más seguras y predecibles.
También repasaremos retos habituales como la compatibilidad entre versiones, backups, snapshots, ventanas de mantenimiento, rollback y coordinación con aplicaciones dependientes. Una sesión práctica para entender cómo Terraform puede ayudar no solo a crear infraestructura, sino también a mantenerla y evolucionarla en entornos cloud productivos.

Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Conversation and Coffee @ Belle's Bread Bakery
Hey Everyone!
Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Meet us at "Avocado Latin Food"
Inspired by the successful events like "Pot Luck in the Park" and "Saturday Mornings @ East Market," this meetup promises a fun and engaging atmosphere where like-minded individuals can connect over a shared love for languages and cultures. Whether you're a language learner, ESL student, or simply passionate about exploring new cultures, this event is perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a diverse and welcoming community. Come join us for an enlightening evening of language, culture, food, of course, and connections!
(Everyone will individually choose from the menu and pay for their own meal.)
Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
Hofbräuhaus [ Thursday 6:00 ]
The aim of this group is to get together and practice our German. Doesn’t matter if are a beginner or a native speaker. The goal is to speak and improve our German. Everyone is welcome!
If the weather is good, look for us in the Biergarten.
Pro Tip: Get there before 6:00 for happy hour pricing.
Morning people unite!! 🐤 ☕ + 💬 @ Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville
Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Crimson Cup Coffee Shop - Clintonville](https://www.crimsoncup.com/about/location/clintonville)!
Conversacion en español (en persona)
While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome!
Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here.
Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
